Disney previews 10 new animated movies, most 3-D.

A lonely newt, a strong-willed Scottish princess and modern-day elves are among the stars of 10 new animated movies from Walt Disney Studios and its boutique animation unit, Pixar. The media conglomerate on Tuesday unveiled its upcoming animation slate for movie theater owners and the media. The message of the splashy, three-hour presentation: Disney's acquisition of Pixar has resulted in rejuvenation of the company's entire animation business.

Surgeons transplant 6 kidneys at once.

BALTIMORE - Johns Hopkins surgeons transplanted a half-dozen kidneys simultaneously, an operation believed to be the first of its kind, hospital officials announced Tuesday. The transplants conducted Saturday were made possible when a so-called altruistic donor, who was willing to donate to anyone, was found to be a match for one of six transplant candidates. Five of the candidates had a willing donor whose kidney was incompatible with their particular friend or relative, but a match for another of the six. The 10-hour surgeries used six operating rooms and nine surgical teams. “All 12 are doing great, the six kidneys are working well,” said Dr. Robert Montgomery, director of Hopkins’ transplant center and head of the transplant team. read more msnbc.msn.com

Baby with two faces worshipped as goddess.

SAINI SUNPURA, India (AP) -- A baby with two faces was born in a northern Indian village, where she is doing well and is being worshipped as the reincarnation of a Hindu goddess, her father said Tuesday. The baby, Lali, apparently has an extremely rare condition known as craniofacial duplication, where a single head has two faces. Except for her ears, all of Lali's facial features are duplicated -- she has two noses, two pairs of lips and two pairs of eyes. "My daughter is fine -- like any other child," said Vinod Singh, 23, a poor farm worker. Lali has caused a sensation in the dusty village of Saini Sunpura, 25 miles east of New Delhi. When she left the hospital, eight hours after a normal delivery on March 11, she was swarmed by villagers, said Sabir Ali, the director of Saifi Hospital.

67 Bodies Secretly Exhumed From New Mexico Grave.

The exhumations, conducted from August to October, removed 67 skeletons from the parched desert soil around Fort Craig — 39 men, two women and 26 infants and children, according to two federal archaeologists who helped with the dig. They also found scores of empty graves and determined 20 had been looted. The government kept its exhumation of the unmarked cemetery near the historic New Mexico fort out of the public's eye for months to prevent more thefts. The investigation began with a tip about an amateur historian who had displayed the mummified remains of a black soldier, draped in a Civil War-era uniform, in his house. Investigators say the historian, Dee Brecheisen, may have been a prolific looter who spotted historical sites from his plane. Brecheisen died in 2004 and although it was not clear whether the looting continued after his death, authorities exhumed the unprotected site to prevent future thefts. read more -foxnews.com

I was given a young man's heart - and started craving beer and Kentucky Fried Chicken. My daughter said I even walked like a man.

Yesterday, the Mail told the extraordinary story of how a heart transplant recipient in America committed suicide - just like the man whose heart he had received 12 years previously. In another extraordinary twist, it emerged that the recipient had also married the donor's former wife. So can elements of a person's character - or even their soul - be transplanted along with a heart? One woman who believes this to be the case is CLAIRE SYLVIA, a divorced mother of one. She was 47 and dying from a disease called primary pulmonary hypertension when, in 1988, she had a pioneering heartlung transplant in America. She was given the organs of an 18-year-old boy who had been killed in a motorcycle accident near his home in Maine. Claire, a former professional dancer, then made an astonishing discovery: she seemed to be acquiring the characteristics, and cravings, of the donor. Here, in an extract from her book A Change Of Heart, Claire tells her remarkable story...
